Validino's teal eyes saw so much change up ahead. The leads were dropping and switching helter-skelter while he was just trying to stay afloat. The stallion dug in now with his heels, flicking his blunted hooves out behind him in a cascade of friction. The water cooled again as the line of swimmers emerged from the dimly lit bridge, and Dino found himself right smack-dab in the middle of the action. He fought the quickly murking water, and found that as he swam he lost visibility of his legs, then his chest, and eventually the water was a colloid.

The Spectral Marsh's mire trickled between the stallion's frog as his hooves barely grazed the murky bottom. He had no knowing of what was down there and he didn't care to know. He felt bones graze the skin of his thighs and other horses squirmed flighty from the snaky depths. Validino held his breath as he dodged the tiny sand-islands and felt things swirl around his legs. He could only gulp between each leg thrust and hope nothing came out to eat him alive.

Teal eyes spotted the hide of the blue stallion Evers, and with the blunt side of his horn he reached out to slap and thrash around the stallion's barrel, before pounding his legs faster in hope to lope out of his reach. Validino could not seem to find the ones he passed, only the ones that passed him.

The sea-stained stallion caught sight of the bluing ocean ahead and saw the brown ribbon of shoreline glinting in the light. The Moon Goddess and the others were there with smiles like stars. Dino smiled widely and pumped his legs against the slapping waves and current in hopes of gaining whatever ground he could. "Please my Goddess, give me hope!"
